The changing face of Hillary: Glamorous new Clinton website goes live days after she leaves Secretary of State. So, about the 2016 presidential contest . . .?

After weeks of denials of a possible run for the White House in 2016, Hilary Clinton has taken the very public step of launching an extremely slick and presidential-looking website.

Indeed, just days after she stepped down as Secretary of State, visibly tired from four years of jetting around the world, the 65-year-old launched www.hillaryclintonoffice.com. complete with a fresh faced and healthy looking picture herself.

Staring into the distance with bright blue eyes and her hair fashionably styled, the glamorous image has led some to even suggest that Clinton might have gone in for a serious make-over and possibly even a face-lift.

Clinton has been coyly answering questions about her ambitions for high office ever since President Barack Obama was reelected in November.

'Days after retiring as Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton - somebody has launched a website for her, showing off this glamorous...new face.

'Face lift, perhaps? Well, that's fueling rumors about a run for president in 2016, but her aides say it's simply a way for fans and the media to reach her.'

Concerned that he may have caused a minor controversy, Doocy took to Twitter later today to clarify that he meant the website had undergone a facelift and not Clinton herself.

It had previously been assumed that after she stepped down from office, just one month after suffering a dangerous blood clot near hear brain, she would quietly step back.

One of her close friends, Ann Lewis, even went on record during an interview at NBC to say that Clinton would, 'take some time, put her feet up, take a nap.'

However, the website indicates that Clinton's thinking is far from retirement and that the White House could potentially fall into her future ambitions.

'These are not the kind of things you do if you want to fade quietly into the night,' said Democratic strategist Hank Sheinkopf to the New York Daily News.

'It's a long time between now and 2016,' he added, 'and she can use this to create a candidacy, make people think she's creating a candidacy or simply maintain her power. It's a perfect strategic move.'

Released the day after Clinton left the State Department after four years of work praised on both sides of the political spectrum, aides have not revealed however, where the striking portrait of Clinton was photographed.

It is noticeable in the picture that Clinton is not wearing the varifocal glasses she has been wearing in recent weeks to counter the double vision she has experienced since her blood clot in December.

Analysts who have examined the website move, have said that even if she does not choose to run for political office again, the online presence is smart politically.

'There is no downside. It’s always good for people to think that you might run,' said Hunter College Proffessor Kenneth Sherrill to the New York Daily News.

'Should she want to endorse a candidate or ... raise money for a cause she cares about, this is an extraordinary resource. At the very least, it’s a sign she’ll remain active in politics.'
